The most likely scenario over the next 10 games is a record of 4-6 (25% chance). Their chances of winning 6 or more are 9.4%. At #14 in the league, they are behind the Blue Jays by 4.5 points. With a -1.19 disadvantage in projected wins over their next 10 games they may find themselves further behind in the league. They are ahead of the Orioles by one point. In the short-term, we do predict much of a change in the gap between them and the Orioles. There is only a 0.32 advantage in projected wins over their next 10 games.

SEASON-TO-DATE GRADE: F

Based on the money line projected win totals in each game, the 29-63 Tigers 'should have' 37 wins. They have 28 bad losses (they were favored or got blown out as slight underdogs) vs 23 good wins (wins as clear underdog, or 2+ final margin in what was expected to be a close game, or a 5+ final margin). They have come up especially short at home. Their 12-32- home record is -15% lower than their expected win percentage. Losers of 4 in a row they have a 41.5% chance of seeing that extend to 6 straight. In simulations where the Tigers played every other team (neutral court in playoffs) they won just 31.1% of the time (#30 in the league). Their peak rank was #27 in the league back on 4/24.

Their average run differential is -1.92 which ranks #14 in the AL, which is the same as how they rank in win percentage. They are the #14 ranked team in run differential (based on all teams' road stats) and the #15 ranked team among home teams. Their average run differential in their past 10 games is -3 which ranks them #12 over this stretch, slightly better than overall.
